43ads
October 2nd, 2007 by adminI stumbled accross this site yesterday which listed 43ads.com as the ‘Site of the month’ for October 2006.
As most of you know, I did get involved with the pixel ad sites a couple of years ago but this was something I hadn’t seen before and I liked it. Basically there are 43 advertising spots and you bid to advertise, the higher your bid the better the position of your ad. Nothing unusual about that but the interesting part is when it is full.
Once all spots are taken you can still get on the page. The ads shown on the page are the ones from the people who paid the most. If you are thrown off of the page, because 43 people paid more than you did, you will get a full refund of your payment plus the difference between the amount you paid and the amount number 43 on the list paid. Let me show you how this works with some numbers:
Lets say you bought your link for $1 and you now have your link on spot number 43. The link on spot number 42 was sold for $3 and now someone else is buying a link for $5. Since the $5 is more then you paid, you will be pushed off the list and the $3 link is now at number 43. You get back your $1 plus $2 profit!
Now you aren’t guarenteed to make a profit, if both you and the 42nd spot had paid $1 each then as there is ‘difference between the amount you paid and the amount number 43 on the list paid’ so you just get your money back, but even that is not a bad result.
Obviously you need 43 other advertisers to bid higher than you for you to get any cash back. I thought I would give it a go, I have stuck an ad for Yzoo on 43ads.com to see how it works out.
